About Olivier Cajan Olivier Cajan is a French designer whose work is fully in keeping with the spirit of popular, artisanal design of the 1960s-1970s. Operating on the borderline between craft and object design, his wickerwork - wicker and rattan - is characterized by zoomorphic and humorous forms, typical of the "pop" imagination and decorative fantasy of the decade. The magazine-holder frog is his most identifiable and sought-after piece on the vintage and period French design market today. While Cajan's creations are still not widely referenced in the major design encyclopedias, they are now regularly spotted and promoted in collecting circles, galleries and specialized sales.

Product interest This frog combines several qualities sought after by vintage design enthusiasts: natural materials, entirely handcrafted production, resolutely seventies aesthetic and preserved functional character (magazine rack, basket, decorative support). It brings warmth, texture and an undeniable sense of humor to any interior, be it minimalist, bohemian or resolutely vintage.

An unusual object, at once a testament to French craftsmanship on the way to heritage status and a decorative piece in its own right - ideal for a discerning collector or to add character to a living space.
